Singapore Airlines has some great deals now that they fly out of Canberra. Beats flying to SYD first.
This flight is to Kathmandu return, via Singapore (Mel as well on return leg).
Priced from $791 Return, partly operated by Virgin Australia.
Stopover in Singapore is at Changi - the best rated airport in the world.

There are a few people in Canberra I'd sponsor for a ticket, if only it was one-way.
